What is the feeling of others regarding the use of monitors.
I don't use them. Usually you can get one of the main speakers to point close enough to the direction of the singer's ear so they hardly ever mention it. I have had only one guy that played in a professional band mention monitors once to me, and I pointed one of the speakers toward him just a little more and he stated,
"That's fine now."
I play in 5 different venues 6 to 8 times a week, and like I said, no complaints. The only place I, myself, have been to and complained was when both speakers were well in front of me pointed directly away from me towards the audience, I had to have the guy turn the music up so high so I could hear it but then the audience complained they could not hear me very well.
